Abstract:
A top-level directory of a virtual file system is created. A hierarchy of directories is created under the top-level directory including creating a first file that contains an architecture description of the multi-device circuit arrangement. The directories have names indicative of the plurality of devices and configurable resources of the plurality of devices of the architecture description specified in the first file. A first set of one or more files is created that contain state data or configuration data for configuring resources of the plurality of devices to perform functions specified by the configuration data. A mapping of the configuration data to the resources of the plurality of devices is determined, and configuration data is stored in the configurable resources according to the mapping.
